Reverse flow of the Yellow Springs

Zhao Xiao suffered six broken ribs, and his left collarbone and clavicle were also damaged.

In addition, he had more than twenty cuts and bruises on his body, and his internal organs were slightly ruptured.

Without the use of a top-tier, extraordinary healing potion, this injury would keep him bedridden for more than half a month. And that's exactly what Li Yelai wanted.

Because, in two days, the Celestial Palace will open.

Ye Han would not postpone his entry into the Immortal Palace just for Zhao Xiao's sake.

After all, the Celestial Palace will only be open for about a month. Given Ye Han's extremely selfish nature as an anthropomorphic being, how could he possibly wait for someone who has been abandoned?

Yes, they were abandoned.

Zhao Xiao is a pawn, a expendable resource.

If it weren't for Li Yelai having a forbidden item—the Emotional Pocket Watch.

The best outcome for Zhao Xiao was to be twisted on the spot. Then, he would be killed by the psionicists present, which was the fate of all the victims.

Once a psionicist is twisted into a victim, they will be completely affected by the power of the void.

The Void Realm is vast and boundless, containing not only the top beings like the Chaos Gods, but also other strange and powerful things.

Under the influence of these forces, the victims will transform into extremely dangerous creatures.

There are too many tragedies in the giant city, caused by the victims themselves.

No matter how rational or kind their parents or siblings were before, after being twisted, their personalities will drastically change, turning them into monsters or madmen. And often, the first victims are the victims' close relatives and friends.

There are extremely tragic cases, cases where psionicists, unable to bear killing their twisted companions, were killed themselves; such cases have occurred in almost every major city.

After all, some people might find it hard to bring themselves to harm a close friend or comrade they spend every day with.

Li Yelai had once made a pact with Cheese that if the other party became twisted and out of control, he would send him to his grave.

This is the most sublime oath among psionicists.

Therefore, once a psychic discovers a victim, they will immediately eliminate them. This is an instinctive reaction.

It can be said that Ye Han wanted Zhao Xiao dead at that time!
It's truly chilling that they abandoned their so-called good brothers without hesitation.

They wanted to use his death to test Li Yelai's true intentions.

A psychic who falls into rage and may even be corrupted by the power of the Blood God is quite dangerous.

If they were to encounter other five-sense psychics, they would not hold back.

However, the one standing before him was the chosen one of the Blood God. That was a different story.

Ultimately, however, Ye Han's abilities were still too dangerous. His use of curses to harm others was something the church hadn't investigated and suspected.

They'll probably just think it was an accident.

Unfortunately, no concrete evidence can be produced. Otherwise, it would only be necessary to notify the families or factions whose members he had harmed.

Ye Han would be hunted down all over the world.
"Thank you, Lord Night General." In the ward, Zhao Lin said softly, her eyes red, "Thank you for sparing his life."

Li Yelai nodded slightly and said, "Apart from the patient's family and official medical staff, no one else is allowed to enter. You can stay here with your brother for the time being."

Zhao Lin sniffed and nodded. She naturally knew that Li Yelai's actions were to protect her and Zhao Xiao.

Unless Ye Han forces his way in, he will have no chance of seeing her.

But if you force your way in... Ha.

This is an official internal medical area. What are outsiders trying to do by forcibly entering? What do they intend to do to the wounded officials here?
Li Yelai has already given the order: anyone who tries to force their way in should be killed on the spot, and it's his responsibility!
“But in that case, I will no longer be able to send you messages,” Zhao Lin said.

According to the original plan, after entering the Immortal Palace, Zhao Lin would contact Li Ye to find Ye Han.

Now that Zhao Lin and Zhao Xiao have left Ye Han's team, they have also lost the possibility of passing messages within the organization.

"It's alright, it's not necessary," Li Yelai shook his head. It was already fortunate that Ye Han used Zhao Xiao to deal with him; if he had used Zhao Xiao within the Immortal Palace, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

Moreover, they would inevitably run into each other within the Celestial Palace sooner or later.

The "inevitable encounter with a powerful foe" effect is quite effective. Although it might first attract a group of extraordinary creatures.
"Also, don't worry too much about your brother's curse. I have a forbidden item that can forcibly change his emotions. The price is that the user's personality will be extremely sensitive and fragile for a period of time. I just tested it, and it worked very well," Li Yelai said. "From now on, you don't need to worry about this."

This surprised and delighted Zhao Lin, who then forcefully reversed her emotions.
There's actually such a forbidden item? Wouldn't this completely free Zhao Xiao from Ye Han?
"Really, thank you so much. I will definitely try my best to repay you." Zhao Lin sobbed softly. She had already sacrificed so much to save her brother.
Now, she finally sees hope.

Li Yelai sighed inwardly, thinking that meeting a beast like Ye Han was Zhao Lin's misfortune.

"There's no need for that. You should rest well; no one can bother you here."

He glanced at Zhao Xiao, who was unconscious on the hospital bed, then turned and left the ward. In the corridor outside, official guards stood and medical staff moved about.

Further out, there are clinics for common ailments.

With Li Yelai's superhuman physique, he could hear many sounds.

"Comrade, it seems you have kidney deficiency."

'How dare a quack doctor mislead me!'

"You haven't finished speaking! I can cure it!"

'Sir, your righteousness is great! If you do not abandon me...'

However, after Li Yelai left the medical area, he heard some news.

"The head of a charity was murdered along with his entire family. The methods were brutal, and it appears to be the work of a psychic. We have launched an investigation."

"That's really ruthless! A family of more than ten people!"

The passing investigators were discussing a heinous case.

Li Yelai was taken aback and asked, "Did that person in charge do something wrong?"

The two workers from the lava mine were taken aback. Although they didn't recognize Li Yelai, their eyes turned serious when they saw the gold-embroidered armor on Li Yelai's shoulders, and they immediately responded.

"team leader!"

"Hello, I'm Ye Jiang, the acting captain of the champion team. Can you tell me about that case?" Li Ye Lai asked.

'Is this the invincible champion agent of his rank?'

The two processors looked pleasantly surprised and quickly replied, "Of course, Captain Night General!"

"The person in charge belongs to a charity that specifically helps child patients from poor families. He has a good reputation."

"But recently, someone exposed that he embezzled donations and even demanded that the mother of the child he was helping sleep with him. In the end, he dragged out the money and caused the child's death."

"The police department was investigating, but they discovered that the whole family had been murdered."

"If you ask me, that man certainly deserved to die! But killing an entire family is a bit too much."

"For some reason, there have been more and more extreme cases lately. Fortunately, those who died were all people who deserved to die."

Li Yelai frowned and nodded, saying, "I understand." Well, the person who made the move is most likely the Wilderness Ranger.

Their actions were generally aligned, but their behaviors differed.

Take that beast I just mentioned, for example. Some wilderness adventurers would probably just kill him and be done with it. At most, they might extend their revenge upwards and kill those who protected him as well.

Some wilderness adventurers go to extremes, believing that their family members are also beneficiaries and must be eliminated.

This time, it must be the latter, right?

With the gathering of wilderness rangers, some people are likely to die in this giant city.

Meanwhile, Ye Han learned that his request to visit Zhao Xiao had been rejected by the official medical department.

This did not surprise him.

"So Li Yelai really does know something? Has he already become suspicious of me?" Ye Han pondered to himself. He shouldn't have shown too much emotion in front of Li Yelai. Who told him? Hmph, whatever, he's just another stepping stone to the peak.

Ye Han sneered inwardly, but his face showed regret: "It seems that the champion's agent doesn't want us to meet Brother Zhao."

"Zhao Xiao is our companion, why can't even we go visit him?" The girl in summer clothes frowned.

"Could it be that the champion's agent has misunderstood something? Does he have a bad opinion of us?" Snow Mountain Blind Swordsman said, "Zhao Xiao did make a mistake, but the near distortion of the truth was not something we could have predicted."

“I can’t get in touch with Zhao Lin either, so our team is now two people short.” The girl in the dress asked, “Should we go and gather our companions?”

"It's too late. The Immortal Palace opens the day after tomorrow. In such a short time, we probably won't even be able to send a message." Ye Han shook his head: "Let's just enter the Immortal Palace like this."

"It's a pity. If those two were here, their harvest this time would certainly not have been disappointing," said the girl in summer clothes.

Li Yelai's words, "Below the Sixth Sense, I am invincible; above the Sixth Sense, I am one for one," spread throughout the psionic community of the giant city that very day.

Some admired, some mocked, and some celebrated.

Those who celebrated were naturally the officials. The champion team, in particular, believed that Li Yelai had once again demonstrated the glory befitting a champion.

The other group consists of the higher-ups of the Ember Church, who are lurking in the shadows and know Li Yelai's identity.

"Lord Di Yun's strength is already evident to all. He is a powerful figure certified by our lord! Don't make a fuss about it." Bai Ya remained calm and composed.

After all, in her mind, Emperor Yun was invincible among those of the same level.

It's important to understand that within the Blood God faction, believers are allowed to challenge the chosen ones. However, no one has ever dared to attempt it, a testament to the power of Lord Emperor's Fall.

Zhao Xiao? What's that? Looking for a beating?

You dare challenge the chosen one of the fallen emperor? You can't even defeat a demon general like me!
"Is everything ready? Are there any risks involved in the plan?" Bai Ya asked.

"No, thanks to Lord Emperor's intelligence, we have already planted spies in key positions. This will allow us to enter the Celestial Palace undetected," someone reported.

"But remember, regardless of whether our plan succeeds or not, regardless of whether we can wipe out the Wilderness Rangers, we must ensure the safety of Lord Emperor Fall. He must not be exposed. Even if we all return to the Crimson Throne, we must not arouse his suspicion!" Bai Ya reminded him.

"Yes!" The man slowly stepped back.

Unbeknownst to anyone, after leaving the room, the man put on a pair of glasses. His demeanor also changed abruptly, transforming him from a bloodthirsty madman into a rational scholar.

"Two major factions: the Wilderness Rangers and the Two Chosen Ones."

"My lord, this is absolutely a brilliant conspiracy!"

"I will witness this performance for you!"

"Praise be to the great Lord of Deception!"

Two days later, a valley twenty kilometers from the lava mining city had been completely sealed off by the Giant City Legion. Numerous official personnel were patrolling the mountains and forests, while nearly one hundred thousand Giant City Legion soldiers stood ready in the distance.

This is the location where the Divine Palace of Immortals is opened.

A psionicist complained that the Jing family had chosen a terrible place.

But this is indeed a miscarriage of justice for the Jing family.

The opening of the Divine Palace is not merely about gathering two forbidden items: Tai Chi - Yang and Yin.

Furthermore, it requires the right location and the right time to reliably establish the connection with the Celestial Palace, or in other words, to fix the anchorage.

Within the border city cluster, there are not many locations to consider.

Some are too close to the restricted area, and some are underwater. This is already the best solution.

As time gradually passed.

The teams from various major cities and families gradually arrived at the valley.

Li Yelai was naturally among them. At this moment, he sat inside the SUV, waiting for the Celestial Palace to open.

Beside him was a doll dressed in an airtight outfit. Nearby was a convoy of official psychics.

They were all waiting silently.

At the same time, Li Yelai felt an invisible sense of oppression. Not only him, but all the psionicists here felt the oppression.

Even the most arrogant psychic dared not act recklessly at this moment.

That was a gaze from twenty kilometers away; a towering figure stood atop the high walls of the lava city, watching the valley.

Even though they were twenty kilometers apart, just watching each other made everyone present feel the pressure.

Such is the majesty of a monarch!
That is the Amber King of the Lava Mining City!
With him personally overseeing things, even the forbidden zones can't possibly lay a finger on the Immortal Palace.

After waiting for more than ten minutes, Li Yelai finally saw the Jing family's team arrive late.

The Jing family overlord, Xiaoqi Overlord, bowed slightly towards the distant giant city before stepping into the air and arriving above the valley.

"Gentlemen, I've kept you waiting." The Overlord of the Valiant Banner smiled, "But I must remind you that you should think carefully, as the Immortal Palace is not safe."

"Now that things have come to this, there's no need for further words. Let's begin," said the outsider overlord.

"You came all this way just to spout this nonsense?"

"Alright, life and death are predestined. Even if something happens, we won't blame the Jing family."

"That's good!" The Overlord of the Valiant Banner nodded slightly.

The next second, a white jade pendant flew out from the Jing family's team, while a black jade pendant flew up from the team of Border City No. 3.

The two jade pendants rapidly expanded in mid-air, transforming into two giant fish, one black and one white, which collided and merged in the valley, forming a magnificent Tai Chi pattern.

The Tai Chi symbol suddenly expanded, transforming into a cloud of mist in the valley.

In the mist, the group saw exotic flowers and rare herbs, soaring mythical beasts, and hundreds of silent palaces.

The next moment, the army set off, stepping into the mist. (End of Chapter)
